In a 17-minute interview that aired on Thursday night, Trump spoke with Real America's Voice hosts John Solomon and Amanda Head. However, there were several disruptions in the audio that caused viewers to speculate the hosts were speaking to an AI bot or prank caller instead of the former president.Several times throughout the interview, the voice became choppy, and it did not sound exactly like Trump's usual voice and cadence, prompting much speculation on social media.
Daily Beast reporter Zachary Petrizzo posted on X early Friday morning that Sigg told him about plans for the company's investigation. Subsequently, the Daily Beast added a lengthy correction at the top of its article, alerting readers that it had only spoken to someone claiming to be Sigg, not Sigg himself.
